To start, I went on the app and looked for designs I liked. There was one that said, “have your cake and eat it too.” I thought it was appropriate since first birthdays are notorious for cake smashing. 🙂

After I downloaded the design to my app, I got my Cricut machine ready for cutting. First, I put the card stock on the mat and inserted it into the machine. Then I adjusted the dial (on the right of the machine) to the card stock setting and pressed go!

The design took about a minute and a half to cut. There were a lot more elements than the words that were available with the design download, but I wanted to keep it simple so I simply just had the words cut. Once the design was finished cutting, I used my weeding tool to remove the excess paper and get it all set for application. Then, using a glue stick, I attached the blue letters to the white card stock.

That’s it! It’s really that simple! This was fun, speedy and very easy to make. Questions or comments? Just ask!

For a one year old? Thats an awfully expensive piece of equipment you are trying to convince people they need. Bet he would have been happy with a card you made with paper and colored pencils and a contribution to his college fund
